The 2-chan message board erupted minutes after the news of Hiro’s murder was released.

Fuck! U guys hear about Hiro?
NAME: ANONYMOUS356
Can’t believe it.
The Android Boy is dead. Fucking bastard American marine broke into their house. Shot the princess’s parents as well as Hiro.
NAME: ANONYMOUS23
U seen the stuff on Reddit? Marine was one of those religious freaks. Like the dude who tried to shoot the kid in the US.
NAME: ANONYMOUS885
Orz was there. Orz and the princess found the body. I’m cryin inside for Orz. U see the pictures of him? He was fighting to get to the Princess while the cops were tryin to keep him away.
I was cheering him on.
NAME: ANONYMOUS987
We all were, dude. So happy they got away in the end. Go Orz!
NAME: ANONYMOUS899
The princess isn’t as hot as I thought she’d be. Orz looks like a typical otaku, just like I imagined him.
NAME: ANONYMOUS23
That’s cold. Fuck u 899.
Where do u think Orz and the princess have gone? Cops will want to talk to them.
NAME: ANONYMOUS6543
You think Orz is ok?
NAME: ANONYMOUS23
Don’t be such a fucking noob 6543! Of course he’s not ok!!!!
[Much speculation followed about what this could mean for Orz and the princess’s future. Then, three hours later, Ryu appeared on the board.]

Hi guys.
NAME: ANONYMOUS111
Orz??? That really u?
NAME: ORZ MAN
It’s me.
NAME: ANONYMOUS23
Orz, u ok? How is the princess? Where are u?
NAME: ORZ MAN
I don’t have long. The princess is waiting for me.
I showed her yr messages and she says it doesn’t matter now that u know who we really are. She says that u should never forget what they did.
She is broken.
I am broken.
But wanted to say thanx for giving us all that support.
This isn’t easy…
Wanted to let u know that u won’t hear from me again.
We’re going to be together forever going somewhere where they can’t hurt us any more.
I wish I could meet every one of u. Wouldn’t have had the balls to leave my room without all yr encouragement.
Goodbye.
Your friend, Ryu (aka Orz Man)
NAME: ANONYMOUS23
Orz??????
NAME: ANONYMOUS288
Orz!!!! Come back, man.
NAME: ANONYMOUS90
He’s gone.
NAME: ANONYMOUS111
Netizens, this isn’t good. That sounded like a suicide note to me.
NAME: ANONYMOUS23
Orz would never do something like that… would he?
NAME: ANONYMOUS57890
If u think about it, if Orz and the princess hadn’t been out together that night then the marine might have shot her too.
NAME: ANONYMOUS896
Orz saved her life.
NAME: ANONYMOUS235
Yeah. And if 111 is right, they’re going to kill themselves together. A suicide pact.
NAME: ANONYMOUS7689
There’s no proof this is what they’re gonna do.
Those US fuckers. They were behind this. They murdered Hiro and destroyed Orz’s happiness. They can’t be allowed to get away with it.
NAME: ANONYMOUS23
Agreed. Orz is one of us. They need to pay.
NAME: ANONYMOUS111
Netizens, for once in yr lives it’s time to do something that counts.
